Proper, clear-cut, timely and candid communication is a boon in every sphere of life, especially when things are not in favor of you. There are not many people around who are good communicators. There may be good speakers, but all good speakers are not necessarily good communicators. Communication to me is all about saying the optimum at the right place and the right time. Sometimes you have to go on talking for an hour to explain the perspectives, sometimes you can also just be silent and yet communicate.
Whenever I have faced friction in my love life, communication has not only seen me through, but it has also paved the way for a peaceful and happy future. Sometimes you have to explain things to people like a Montessori teacher, assuming that they are toddlers. The pain that you inflict upon yourself while doing this gives you the gain of a stronger relationship with that person whom you are talking to.
To communicate well, one has to be a clear thinker because clarity of words comes through clarity of thought. A soft tone, mental maturity and good prowess of language are obvious accessories, which however can never be taken for granted in an individual. However, in all this, I assume that the person in front of you is willing to understand and implement what you are saying. Otherwise every effort can be futile.
I am grateful to God that I have been blessed with reasonably good communication skills, although I keep myself open to improvement every time. Life teaches me a lesson every day, and I try to use those to sharpen my skills to understand people and address their issues through proper dialogue if they do require me.
